Probably HoI 3 beta thingy, hopefully he will have some time left to conquer the world.
Maybe the sheer number of American divisions were too much and he lost the war
And had to apply harakiri in shame.
Am I wrong or this is longest break without update for this AAR?
Give us hope for further updates!

Well here we are again after a long break. I'm afraid I have to report that all the speculation was incorrect the main reason this AAR has been idle is because I have been making money. Not the explanation any of you expected but I'm not an impoverished student and when key opportunity comes along it has to be exploited. Unfortunately this has affected HOI3 activities as well which is even more of an issue (as far as I am concerned). Getting this AAR going again seems to be the easier thing to dive back in with so with no further ado we move onto a restricted set of replies and the next update.
I suggest you all go back and reread a couple of pages, I know I had to.
Krases, CaptRobau, Lord Strange The general strategy at this point has been moved to WW2 US doctrine rather than UK doctrine. That is strike directly at your main enemy rather than take out lesser foes first. The target is the east coast forces and maximum mobile force effort will be devoted to that end.
Everyone Long break, ho hum.

On the western flank my forces are beginning to build up but this attack uses absolutely everything available in the area. Other forces are further south in the mountains but in practice many days away. To the north and east there is nothing but scattered HQs. If I am allowed to take Yuma this forms a very threatening position against the US forces on the coast but a forward position like that is easily severely threatened if anything comes down between the mountain ranges to the north. I am badly outnumbered in this theatre and cannot rely on being able to do much more that harass the enemy.

German forces have finally managed to advance into Monroe but the severe fighting has so depleted my org that it appears I may not be able to hold the position. In terms of fighting power the position isn't too bad but I cannot afford any significant fighting with any divisions at zero org.
Unfortunately I constrained by the "no new orders" bug (well I call it a bug) and since these divisions were recently attacking I cannot order them to retreat.

Constant air patrols across Florida and the whole east coast very rarely encounter anything but when they do the battles are quite effective. New enemy units are intermittent but do appear every few days.

I'm now facing massive US attacks a bit further north and I am beginning to feel like my attempts to cling to the Mississippi are doomed to failure. Again the enemy is attacking at a disadvantage in effective firepower but is threatening to overwhelm by shear numbers. They have a great deal more org to lose than I have and can still win with a 5:1 loss ratio in my favour.

The battle of Monroe is over and I now have a corps in full retreat. They have chosen quite the wrong direction as this retreat will take ages compared with going north (which is what I wanted). Losses haven't been too heavy so they will be coming back.

We have now advanced into Canada but there is an immediate encounter with fresh enemy troops. This far north we are exposed to some wintery weather conditions so I will have to be a little careful about what activities I pursue here. The enemy attack can be resisted if air power comes to the rescue but I am feeling more than a little exposed this far ahead of everyone else. We will try to defend here and then head south to expand the position in the northern US.

An HQ of itinerant gamblers has managed to derail the advance northwards on the western flank. They defeat the HQ in Delano Peak and then hold on long enough to be reinforced. I am proven right; the western flank is subject to arbitrary disruption. This can be slowly corrected with bombing of the more isolated enemy units and some org regain.
Glad you're back!
The release of HoI3 will probably have to be postponed now, with you MIA for so long! Thanks alot!
Btw, it seems that with HoI3 being released to the press the NDA doesn't apply anymore? Maybe you could make a short summary of what would be different if this AAR had been done in HoI3? That would probably be very interesting to read, but also a lot of work for you...

ITS ALIVE!!!
Also, I am very very worried about that situation at the Mississippi. Could go very badly wrong very quickly.

Oops, I have to get back to work myself. My boss doesn't like it when I'm browsing the internet
oIt's good that this AAR is back. I've been following this from the start and I'm now playing with most of the settings you described in one of your first posts. It's really fun when you have to fight over 1000 Russian divisions.
Good for you.
Now don't you dare to do this to us anymore!
How many reserves do you have now? I mean, how big portion of your army is still free to use and not pinned along the Mississipi river?
We mortals have 11 months of work and one of holiday. Mighty Kanitatlan just the opposite
Missisipi should be renamed to river of blood
